Sensore capacitivo per misure di spazi e fessure (gap sensor)

The new capacitive sensors from Micro-Epsilon capaNCDT CSG are specially developed to measure gap width. Sensor electrodes are applied to the top front and back on a circuit board that has a width of 20cm. Using the sensor electrodes and the differential method, the gap width can be determined very precisely while moving the sensor into the gap. A special feature is the sensor’s flexible probe. This also enables the sensor to be used in applications where the measurement object is difficult to access. Using the capaNCDT CSG, gaps of 0.9mm up to 4.9mm can be measured at a resolution of up to 90nm. However, metal objects and a clean measurement gap are required for these sensors. In terms of the electronics for the capaNCDT 6500, signals of both electrodes are immediately calculated with the gap width. Furthermore, the sensor can be replaced or connected to any other electronics supplied by Micro-Epsilon. With the same sensor dimensions, the new capaNCDT CSE offers a measuring range that is 2.5 times larger. As the CSE sensors are equipped with a shielding electrode which is set back, the sensor dimensions are considerably smaller. Therefore, these sensors show significant benefits while also offering the same measuring range. Since the sensors are cylindrical in their design, and have a connector on the back, they are very flexible in terms of their use. As usual, the sensors can be either connected to any other Micro-Epsilon electronics or easily replaced.

La nuova termocamera PI200 combina infrarosso e visibile

The new optris PI200 supplements the stationary infrared camera series with the innovative BI-SPECTRAL technology

The Optris GmbH continues the market introduction of a new, extensive infrared camera series with the introduction of the optris PI200 thermal imaging camera with BI-SPECTRAL technology.  “The new BI-SPECTRAL technology integrates two established camera technologies in one stationary device. Through a visual camera, the optris PI200 is able to combine the conventional thermal image with a visual one. Thereby, both images are displayed in real time and are being recorded for eventual analysis.” informs managing director Dr.-Ing. Ulrich Kienitz. The integrated combination of a visual image (VIS) and a thermal image (IR) via one single stationary camera is a significant step in the development of imaging temperature measurement systems. The optris PI200 will be applicable in areas where so far CCD cameras and thermal imaging cameras were used separately. Examples are the installation in storage pits and open spaces for early fire detection, at convoyer belts for temperature control of bulk material or within production processes for visual and thermal documentation. The optris PI200 thermal imaging camera displays infrared images with up to 96 Hz (images per second) with 160x120 pixels. The time synchronic real time image recording takes place with up to 32 Hz with 640 x 480 pixels. The free available full version of the optris PI Connect software offers two modes for the image display: the monitoring modus and the cross-fading modus. The monitoring modus offers an easy orientation at the point of measurement with the separate display of both images. The cross-fading modus highlights critical temperatures through the overlaid display of the images.  With a size of only 45 x 45 x 62 mm³, the optris PI200 follows the design of the established optris PI160. The advanced interface concepts such as USB cable extension up to 10 km (over fibre), process interface (PIF) at the camera as analog or digital interface as well as software interfaces like DLL, ComPort and LabVIEW allow system integrators an easy integration into networks and automated systems.

Accelerometro per Flight Test con alimentazione standard per uso in volo

Dytran Instruments is recently introduced the 3326A series of low noise accelerometers, ideally suited for use in flight testing applications.
A distinguishing feature of the 3326A series is that the accelerometers are compatible with standard aircraft on-board power supplies (+20 to +32 VDC). Units are part of Dytran's line of VDC powered instrumentation, and as such, may be compatible with existing installations from other manufacturer's which use similar principles.
Available in two different models with sensitivities of 10 mV/g and 100 mV/g, the 3326A series feature ceramic sensing elements operating in shear mode, packaged in a rugged titanium housing. Design of the 3326A series incorporates a 1/4-28 4-pin radial connector and miniature thru-hole mounting, which allows for the sensor to be turned 360 degrees prior to securing, aiding the user during sensor installation. Dytran 3326A series weigh 10 grams, are hermetically sealed for reliable operation in high humidity and dirty environments, and case isolated to avoid EMI/ground loop interference.
